Everything You Need To Know About Video Marketing in 2018

Content marketing and consumption – especially video content – are always changing each year.

Now that 2017 is over, let’s take a look at what we have learned from 2017 and what to anticipate for in 2018.

There are many platforms that companies can use to run their video marketing on: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn – just to name a few popular ones.

The main challenge of doing video marketing is: each of these platforms prefers different type of content.

Take for an example Facebook – a platform which, above all else, love square videos. Majority of Facebook’s traffic come from mobile users, and square videos takes up more space when viewed on mobile – making the viewing experience that much better. In 2017, many marketers have realized this and created their content accordingly.

LinkedIn, as a social media platform is still adapting to video marketing. In 2017, they launched an update that allows users to upload video content, like explainer videos, natively.

YouTube, as a video platform is still adapting to the concept of vertical video. In 2017, they launched an update to their mobile app that allows vertical video to be viewed vertically – in full screen.

Because of how fresh and unheard of this update is, there are still a handful of videos optimized for vertical viewing.

That’s only three platforms – and we barely scratched the surface there.
